ART WORKS!
We all have a creative spark within us!
For some that spark may have been doused when we were very young, for others, it is still to be ignited and lastly, many think there just isn’t enough time in our lives. Are you ready to glow?
This website is a place to stretch your creative muscles, to find inspiration, direction, and artistic guidance. Let’s find that inner artist, by letting go of all the rules, and getting down to work.
We are a group of newcomers and artisans. Creating and learning together. Will you join us?
Take a look around, explore my personal galleries and contribute to the student gallery, try the featured tangle of the month, sign up for a class and the blog/newsletter and check out the supplies and resources.
I’m so happy you’re here. Let’s have some fun!


MEET CARI
Yikes, that’s me! I love to be creative! I’m an artist, student, and teacher, offering an upbeat, no mistake approach to artwork.
FEATURED TANGLE OF THE MONTH
This is OTM, a fun tangle that I created at a CZT Retreat. It works well with the Reticula and Fragments method. Step outs will be published in a future blog.
SUPPLIES
Love them! I offer custom products and exclusive Zentangle® supplies. I offer original artwork and take limited commission pieces.
SHOP COMING SOON!

Cari puts her heart and soul into her work. I commissioned Cari to do two pieces for me. Both pieces touched my heart and made me cry. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”… and this beholder was overwhelmed. Cari, you have an incredible talent and a gift. Thank you, for bringing me such joy.
